Toyota Tacoma Skid Plate - Rival 4x4 - Aluminum Engine - '05-'23. The Rival aluminum engine skid plate is a protective underbody shield designed for 3rd generation Toyota Tacoma 2005–2023 4WD models, including KDSS. It offers focused protection for the engine bay while keeping weight low.

Built by Rival 4x4 for drivers who use their Tacoma off-road and on pavement, this skid plate protects lower engine components from rocks, trail debris, and impacts that can occur during spirited driving or over rough terrain. The aluminum construction balances strength and weight, helping reduce added mass while resisting corrosion better than raw steel. The plate is formed to follow the vehicle's underbody contours and complements other Tacoma upgrades without unnecessary bulk.
